A RATS REASONING POWER.
\ Nest Remarkable Insiaent-A
Mother Rata Experience.

- A.O9@
Mesher Rata Experience.
As throwing light on the question
II the intelligence of the animal crea-
ton in the exhibition of memory and
reasoning power, beyond the mere
male of recognised instinct, wish to
4ive brief account Of m interesting
Incident of which was witness. On
: very warm day in early summer l
happened to be standing near a
chicken coop in o back yard, when /
noticed the head of very gray and
rrixxled rat thrust from a neighboring
rathole and concluded to watch the
movements Of the veteran. After a
careful survey Of the surroundings
our old rodent seemed to be satisfied
that all was right, and made a eau
tious exit from the home retreat. A
fresh pan of water had been recently
placed before the chicken coopfor the
use Of Mother Chick and her interest
ing brood. These all seemed to have
satisfied their thirst, and the water
looked q friendly invitation to the
thirsty old rat, which Immediately
started toward it.
The rat had not reached the pan
before five half-grown young ones
rushed and tried to be first at the
water. The old rat thereupon imme-
diately made leap like a kangaroo,
and was at the edge of the dish in ad-
vance of the foremost of her litter.
Then ensued most remarkable &C.
currence. The mother rat re- ;sed her
self on her launches and bit and
scratched her offspring SO severely
when they tried to reach the water
that they all finally scudded away,
evidently very much astonished and
frightened at the strange and unac-
countable behavior of their mother.
/ was as much astonished as they,
and waited, with renewed interest,
the outcome Of this remarkable per-
formance. When the little ones were
1t . safe distance, the reason for her
extraordinary behavior began to be
revealed at once in the intelligent
action Of the old mother rat.
Sc first wet her whiskers in the wat
or, looked suspiciously about her, then
very cautiously and carefully took a
dainty little sip of the liquid. She
tasted it as tentatively and critically
as professional tea faster, and when
she was satisfied that it contained mo-
poisonous or deletorious matter she
gave a couple of squeaks which
quickly brought her young and
thirsty brood to her side, and
all fearlessly drank to their fill.
Now, this old mother rat was exper-
fenced, had evidently learned her
lesson IN that school thoroughly, and
80 she would not allow her young and
untaught litter to taste water which
might have contained rat poison, or
what not, unit. she had satisfied her.
self that the liquid was harmless. As
/ Witnessed this little scene in lowly
animal life the thought would keep
coming, does not this look very like
